Forgotten 1965 Mustang First Start in 44 Years, Part 7 LEED Brakes Hot Rod Power Tour 2019 Prep!

[@scottgraham4503]

I've wanted to restore an old Mustang for a long time. Thank you for this video series. I probably won't get the chance to do it myself, but I can live vicariously through your experience and thoroughly enjoy every bit of it.

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

No problem Scott, glad you enjoyed the video! Lots more to come!

[@LEEDBrakes]

Nice Video, thank you for choosing LEED Brakes!!

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Thank you for sponsoring the build! 👌

[@bigrobnz]

Well done for sponsoring this channel.....it"s a good one! I"m watching from New Zealand.

[@beboboymann3823]

Never heard of Leed Brakes. However your items look top notch for this build. I am going to explore brakes for my Jeep Wrangler TJ possibly an upgrade to rear discs if you have them. How about that? I watched a Mustang build and discovered a new source for brakes.

[@LEEDBrakes]

beboboy mann thanks for watching the video! A Jeep guy watching a mustang video!?! I won’t tell your friends!! Haha. Please give us a call for the brakes on your Jeep we would love to see if we can help you out!

Thank you for the kind words, means alot. Lots more videos to come👍 stay tuned

[@ViceGripGarage]

Great video Mike! Was awesome to see this car in person.

[@radioactivelarry]

Woah, I have never seen thick gooier constipated crap like this in a rear end housing. I've seen some stuff but this is by far the best reason to "check your rear end" before you hit the road with an old car that's been sitting for a long time. Check with Yukon gears as they make a bullet proof posi for the 9". Great video, I love old Fords, have a few myself.

[@bbuchanan2007]

Nice to see someone who knows how to pack bearings properly.

[@johnshrader1655]

[@scottyjones27]

Back in the day 1978 I remember helping my uncle squirt 1969 mustang gt 4 speed car rear end full of grease to quite down the whine !! It fixed it rite up drove it for years after that !! That started my love of the pony car!!

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Lol I'm honestly thinking of cleaning this one up and slapping it in a car just to see how it performs. Would be interesting. Like you said put some thicker fluid in, and some other lubricants and send it

Heck Yeah! Thanks for the support! Nice collection you got there

[@franklinwalker9333]

Hey don't forget this shock Tower supports the ones that run diagonally in the corners of the engine bay.. I wish you the best of luck

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

That's the chassis stiffening product I was talking about during the brake booster scene. Have an export brace for it

[@benrjohansen]

I love how you show us the processes sped up. Very good vid!

[@Hobodeluxe960]

that looked a lot easier that I thought it would be considering the problems you had with the diff. A friend just bought a 67 Mustang and was wanting to convert it over to disc. Watching this video makes me think we can handle it no problem and I will certainly tell him about Leed Brakes conversion kits.

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Front brake swap is extremely easy. 4 nuts and the outer bearing hardware (cotter pin, nut retainer that the coter pin slides through, main bearing nut (loosens with a pair of pliers) washer and then bearing.) Whole drum assembly slides right off. Clean the old grease off, clean spindle surface, install caliper bracket, dust shield, tighten 4 mounting bolts, slide rotor with inner bearing and seal installed/ greased, then outer bearing and hardware, slide the caliper on and tighten the 2 mounting bolts, hook up the new (longer) flexs lines and you're done. Sounds like a lot in text but it's really... REALLY easy! The rear takes a little more time but is also very do able. Definitely send your buddy the video and give Leed a call/email. Let them know about this video, and hopefully he'll find what he's looking for👍 Cheers, Mike

[@randalbloomquist7812]

Nice brake setup, great sponsor, not cheap!

[@dave1135]

We had one come in like that at the dealership I worked at. We sprayed the axle tubes and center housing with degreaser after getting the chunks out then hit it with a pressure washer then air dry with air, spray with degreaser then blow it off again.

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

I was trying to keep my work space clean or else pressure washing would've worked great I'm sure. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out though with just a scrubber, brake clean, and elbow grease

[@charlesbeatty7513]

Nice video. Can't wait to see it in power tour.

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Thank you, stay tuned👍

[@kickit59]

Nice job on the fastback! Brake components look great! Rearend reminded me of my old 56 Chev that had sat for nearly as long as this Mustang! Well done man!

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Thank You! Hahaha fun time cleaning it right.... LOL

[@captsaison9343]

I thought you would use brake cleaner to clean the axle area and so you did. That 's what came to mind. You did a hell of job. Easy for me to say as my son and his buddies upgraded the brakes on my 1965 mustang to disc system. But mine was nowhere near as big a job of yours.

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Great minds think alike Lol? Luckily I thought of the brush idea because I would have been there for days with out It! That's nice of them to install the kit for you!

[@LeandroRibeiro-md2du]

Really beautiful brake parts

[@refiii9499]

At least those new brakes are absolutely beautiful lol. Wow look at that rear diff holy smoked!

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

They are pretty sexy! The diff on the other hand...😅

[@kcav5374]

As for axle tubes, you can most likely find an engine cleaning brush (something at a hardware store?) of approx. same size that'd be long enough to brush out axle tubes with brake clean or mineral spirits. As for the diff itself? same cleaning fluid and elbow grease...

Water got in there through the vent? maybe the rearend was submerged for sometime while sitting.

I can't see it, but who knows... Texas does get alot of rain🤷‍♂️

[@angelsone-five7912]

@@Theoldcarchannel. Some oils, like that used in a Honda CRV I had, actually absorb moisture from the air. In my case the result of moisture absorption was chronic clicking during tight turns. Changed the oil and silence. Great vids by the way, lol.

[@waynegouin939]

Hi, i have a syphon gun, one hose to air compressor other hose in a gallon of gas. I call it my gas blaster. Cleans rear axle tubes excellent. I got a 68 302 auto coupe. Rev.

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Hmm, might have to do something like that for the next one i have to clean out! Was watching a video on a similar unit except it's a sand blasting unit that hooks up to your pressure washer. Same concept (venturi effect) where one hose is in the bag of sand and then attaches to the pressure washer. Looks to work pretty well! Coupe sounds like a nice Car, driver? Project? Mike

[@waynegouin939]

Hi again. I put front spindles off of a granada on my 68, to change it over to front disc brakes. Nice video. Missed ya. Rev.

Hahaha will do!

[@huntsman5226]

Can't wait to see it going down the road again

[@wilharrison8883]

can't imagine how all the water got in there, but obviously it may have been run with it in there and thickened up the oil, but also may be why the wheels didnt want to turn right away when you got the trany reconnected and in gear.......good time to put in a posi, and maybe better gearing.

[@TheElsinoreGardener]

You forgot Vice Grip Garage in the description. Love those old mustangs. My folks had a 65 when I was a kid.

[@jchome4u]

At least you have a good sense of humor and am laughing it off. I am dreading doing the same on my 64 Falcon Futura Convertible 8 inch rear. Mine may not be as bad as yours as it is an original New Mexico car. That black crap looks like the "blob" or from the movie "Creepshow". You are doing it right man and doing a great job to get the fastback back on the road. I have been following your thread on your car.

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Thank you! All I could do was laugh at that point lol! Just take it one thing at a time and before you know it your 8 inch will be good for years to come🤘

Doing well dude. I know we're all on a budget these days but why didn't you buy a new crown gear for the diff and throw some new bearings in it? They're fairly easy to set up with a workshop manual to hand :)

[@ischmel3884]

Where I'm from, that center section of the diff is called a third member...in your case I would call it a Turd member. What a mess, but hey if everything was easy going and required little skill, we would be watching endless videos of people chewing bubble gum. Good thing you caught that ring gear corrosion now, instead of locking up the rear on some back road taking you into a ditch.

Do you still have this old mustang? I did not make it to Toronto last summer to visit wife's family and I know you got this old mustang running from the videos you posted but wondered where it is now? If engine and transmission are good and the brakes you put on it are good then the car should be safe to drive.
